Casi Selected for Inaugural Startup Accelerator Program in Savannah
Casi, an enterprise scheduling and communications platform, was selected to participate in the first startup accelerator program from Savannah Logistics Innovation Center (SLIC) and Silicon-Valley based venture capital firm, Plug and Play. The Atlanta-based company was one of twelve startups chosen for the program, which supports early- to late-stage, growth-driven companies through education, mentorship, and financing.
“We could not have asked for a more innovative and sophisticated cohort of startups to participate in our inaugural batch for this new program,” said SLIC Executive Director Bart Gobeil. “The quality of these startups demonstrates how the Savannah region and Georgia in particular continues to lead and be at the forefront of our global logistics supply chain.”

Of the dozen companies participating in this year’s cohort, Casi is the only one that focuses solely on staffing solutions. “Retaining hourly employees is a widespread challenge right now, particularly in the shipping and logistics industries,” says Casi CEO Justin Rainer. “Workers want greater flexibility with their schedules and employers want a less costly, time-intensive way of managing their workforce. The Casi platform aims to meet them in the middle with an easy-to-implement solution to both.” In addition to shift opportunity scheduling, Casi also offers call-out management, targeted announcements, keyword response handling, employee onboarding / change management, and project management.
Casi, which is currently in its Series A round of funding, hopes to continue to grow and innovate with the opportunities presented through the accelerator program, which is provided in partnership with Foram, the Georgia Department of Transportation, Georgia Ports Authority, Georgia Power, Georgia Southern University, Maersk, the Savannah Economic Development Authority, Savannah State University and Savannah Technical College.
